Hi all,

everybody seemed to agree but then it was proposed to move straight to Boost 1.60, and this caused troubles. Could we consider again to move to at least 1.56? As far as I can tell, this does not cause any issue and as stated one year ago, it would help me and Olex 2.

Thanks,

Luc

I need the function boost::thread::physical_concurrency which returns the number of physical cores on the machine, as opposed to virtual cores when hyperthreading is enabled (which it is by default on any Intel machine). That function is not available in Boost 1.55 which is the version currently used in the nightly tests: it appeared in 1.56.
